Specification of Letters'Patent. Pat t d Aug. 2

Application filed Zl'une 26, 1919. Serial No. 306,838.

to which it appertains to make and use the I same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and; to the letters. and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hoes, and consists essentially in the provision of a tool of this nature having a colter shank at the oval top, affording'means whereby the hoe may clear itself from large branching weeds, which is frequently a trouble met with in using hoes having a shank in the center.

The invention comprises various other details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in theaccoinpanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accornpanying drawings which with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application and in which: g g

Figure 1 is a face view from the handle slde of the hoe.

F 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. Bis a perspective view of the handle end detached.

"Reference-now being had to the details of the drawings by letter: i

.A' designates a hoe' of triangular shape with a convexed rear edgeB. The handle E hasa colter part F near the inner end and .which has laterally extending flanges H which are riveted, or otherwise fastened, to the face of the hoe, as shown. The outer edge'of sald handle is flush with the con vexed edge of the hoe, and the colter is so positloned that it will tend to clear itself from large branching weeds when in use,

making a tool especially adapted for heavy duty farm'work.

What I claim to be new is: p

. In a hoe, a handle socket provided witha narrowed portion and a depending portion sharpened at its lower edge and terminating in a blade attaching flange, the narrowed portion being between the flange andfthe closed end of the socket, and a blade attached to the flanged portion co-planar with the top of the narrowed portion.

In testimony whereof I hereunto'afiix my signature.
